Biosynthesis of pyranonaphthoquinone polyketides:characterization of the alnumycin pathway
(Turun yliopistoAnnales Universitatis Turkuensis A I 449, 2012-12-07)
Alnumycin A is an aromatic pyranonaphthoquinone (PNQ) polyketide closely related
to the model compound actinorhodin. While some PNQ polyketides are glycosylated,
alnumycin A contains a unique sugar-like dioxane moiety. ...
Leaf-Targeted Ferredoxin-NADP+-Oxidoreductase (FNR): Electron Transfer Properties and Thylakoid Association in Arabidopsis thaliana
(Turun yliopistoAnnales Universitatis Turkuensis A I 414, 2010-11-19)
Photosynthetic reactions are divided in two parts: light-driven electron transfer reactions and carbon fixation reactions. Electron transfer reactions capture solar energy and split water molecules to form reducing energy ...
Chemical Biology Screen for Prostate Cancer Therapeutics
(Turun yliopistoAnnales Universitatis Turkuensis A I 435, 2011-12-16)
Prostate cancer initially responds to hormone-based therapeutics such as anti-androgen treatment or chemotherapeutics but eventually becomes resistant. Novel treatment options are therefore urgently needed. This thesis ...
Biophysical modeling of photosynthetic electron transfer and practical applications to cyanobacteria
(Turun yliopistoAnnales Universitatis Turkuensis A I 457, 2013-02-09)
Regulation of photosynthetic electron transfer in plant chloroplasts
(Turun yliopistoAnnales Universitatis Turkuensis A I 472, 2013-10-25)
This thesis focuses on the molecular mechanisms regulating the photosynthetic electron transfer reactions upon changes in light intensity. To investigate these mechanisms, I used mutants of the model plant Arabidopsis ...
Photoinhibition of Photosystem II. Kinetics, Photoprotection and Mechanism
(Turun yliopistoAnnales Universitatis Turkuensis A I 408, 2010-06-23)
Photosystem II (PSII) is susceptible to light-induced damage defined as photoinhibition. In natural conditions, plants are capable of repairing the photoinhibited PSII by on-going degradation and re-synthesis of the D1 ...
On singlet oxygen, photoinhibition, plastoquinone, and their interconnections
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-12-18)
In oxygenic photosynthesis light is captured in series by two protein complexes: photosystem II and photosystem I (PSI and PSII). Electron transfer from PSII to PSI is mediated by the plastoquinone (PQ) pool. Despite being ...
Strategies for analyzing the regio- and stereospecific structures of individual triacylglycerols in natural fats and oils
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-12-07)
Food lipids are mainly found in the form of triacylglycerols (TAG) containing three structurally identical or different fatty acids. The positional distribution of fatty acids is under genetic control. In TAG biosynthesis, ...
Wastewater treatment with algae
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-06-16)
Microalgae have been under investigation as alternatives for wastewater treatment for the last 60 years. However, we are yet to see an algal based process to be trusted as a treatment strategy on a large scale. At present, ...
The Importance of natural colors in food for the visual attractiveness of everyday lunch
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-09-25)
Food is always seen to possess colors. Colors are one of the first sensory stimuli in the perception of food, and color cues are utilized to imagine the expected taste, flavor and liking of food. Although the importance ...
